[avr-gcc-list] Pointer to byte in code.

[Royce & Sharal Pereira]

Hi,
is thare a way to access a byte in ROM besides the macro __LPM(address)?

How does one define a pointer to a byte in ROM?

For eg, should'nt the function:

void get_byte(PGM_P src)
    {
        while(*src)
            PORTB= *src++;
    }

generate the lpm instruction automatically?

How to implement the above?

PS: I have been using SDCC for AT89cxx MCUs, where merely declaring the pointer 
as "code *char src"
generates the 'movc' opcode automatically. I'm looking to migrate the SDCC code 
to AVR-GCC.

Thanks,
